Book Review - The Automatic Millionaire

I just finished The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach. I've read several of his other books, and decided it was time to read this one when I found it on the shelves of my local library.

The thing I enjoy about David's writing style is how simple he makes things. He has a unique perspective of looking at finances, and relaying them in an easy to use fashion.

One of the biggest things I walked away with from this book is how to think rich, and how to share that knowledge with your children. He tells a story about a couple in their early 50's ready to retire because of what their parents had taught them about money.

We Inherited Knowledge

is what the couple told David.

Basically, to retire rich at an early age, you need to:

1. Pay yourself first. Always put money away for yourself first before you pay the bills. Automate the process if possible.
2. Save a few dollars a day. They called it the cigarette factor - basically the latte factor - and you should eliminate one habit from your system, and use the money to pay yourself.
3. Buy a house and make two 1/2 payments every month instead of one big one. You pay off the house much quicker this way.
4. Don't buy things on credit, minus your house. If you can't pay for it, don't buy it.

Pretty simple rules, and they make a lot of sense to me.

It's a great book if your new to the whole finance/savings idea, or if you want a refresher on great ideas. (I never get bored reading simliar items - I alway pick up one or two new nuggets along the way!)

Start A Photography Business

If photography has always been a passion for you; one that you would love to make into a full time career, maybe its time to make that dream a reality. Maybe you've been photographing your friends and family for years, and they've been telling you to go into the business. Or maybe you're having a harder and harder time going to that job every day that just doesn't seem to have a purpose. Why should you work for someone else when you can build something lucrative on your own?

The truth is over 75 percent of people contemplate starting their own business at some point in their life. And of those 75 percent, one in three will actually take the steps necessary to start their own business.

Will you be one of them?

You see, it takes a special personality to decide to go into business for him or herself. You have to realize that it takes more than a love of what you do. It also takes commitment because a business doesn’t grow by itself. It takes work.

The cold hard facts are most business owners will go out of business in a short period of time. Over 66 percent of business startups fold after only four years.

But there is a way to give you an edge over other business owners. It's a "secret" that every successful business owner has followed over the course of his or her own entrepreneurial life. And I'm going to share that secret with you … in just a minute.
